The music industry is mourning the loss of one of its own today. DJ and producer Thomas Brückner, better known as Tomcraft, has passed away at the young age of 49. Brückner, who hailed from Germany, was the mastermind behind the 2003 hit single "Loneliness" which took the UK by storm and topped the charts.
The devastating news was confirmed by his family on social media yesterday, July 15, 2024. In a heartfelt post, they shared the sad news of their beloved father and husband's passing. "With heavy hearts, we regret to inform you that yesterday, our dear Thomas left us," they wrote. "He will forever be in our hearts and we will cherish his memory until we are reunited once again. With love, your family - Bine, Max, Amelie, and Sophie."
Fans were quick to pay their respects, with fellow DJ Benny Benassi sharing his condolences in the comments. "My good friend... I am so sorry," he wrote. "We were both artists at Ministry of Sound during the same period. 'Loneliness' was my first remix after 'Satisfaction' was released."
Many other music stars also paid tribute to Brückner, including Dutch duo Showtek who wrote, "Rest in peace, legend. Thank you for your music and for spreading love around the world." Brückner was not only known for "Loneliness", but also for other club hits such as "The Circle", "Prosac", and "Silence".
In an interview, Brückner once shared the unforgettable experience of playing "Loneliness" for the first time in a club. "The response was unbelievable," he said. "People were screaming and acting crazy." The song even went on to be played for 13 consecutive weeks on Judge Jules' BBC Radio 1 show and became a hit in Saltburn.
Brückner's talent and passion for music will be greatly missed by his fans and fellow musicians alike.
